She is a dachshund mix and is one year old. It's hard to believe, but Vada arrived at Greenhill as a stray.

She is very friendly and can live with children, according to Greenhill staff. Vada can also possibly live with cats or dogs, but she needs to meet them first before coming home.

Every Tuesday, KEZI showcases homeless pets on the Midday newscast at 11 a.m. If you are interested in Vada or other animals at First Avenue Shelter or Greenhill Humane Society, click here.
